Abstract

Fifty samples of fishes, shrimps and oysters collected in Santos littoral were tested for the presence of BHC and DDT. Gas-liquid chromatography with electron-capture detection was employed. Isomers of BHC were found in 84% of the samples, the leve!s ranging from 10 to 940 f.Lg/kg (ppb) of total BHC. Isomers and metabolites of DDT were found in 8% of the samplos, th e levels ranging from 20 to 41 f.Lg/kg (ppb ) of total DDT.
